Erica terminalis, also known as the Corsican heath or upright heath, is a flowering plant that belongs to the Ericaceae family. It is native to southern Europe and northern Africa, but has also been naturalized in other regions. This evergreen shrub has a bushy appearance and can reach a height and width of 1 meter. Its leaves are a mid-green color and it produces beautiful rose-pink flowers during the summer and autumn months, which can often last well into the winter. It is sometimes referred to as a tree heath, along with other species such as E. arborea and E. lusitanica.
